Of The LTTE.

United National Party spokesman and Minister of Education Dr. Karunasena
Kodituwakku displaying what would best be described as a proclamation
which stretches from the sublime to the ridiculous has boldly stated that
quote" President Chandrika Kumaratungas decision not to allow
the lifting of the ban of the Tamil Tigers couldnt be allowed to
become a reality for the benefit of the country" end quote. Has he
taken on the onus of preventitive measures against the Chief Executive
Officer Of the Nation singlehandedly or is this some more of the UNF Bufffoonery
which seems to be rampant as of late with no consideration to the will
of the Sinhala Nation and its majority population or the very realistic
requirement of a two third majority which is out of reach of the UNF to
be able to even in somemeasure confront the President?.

His comments suggest placing a lopsided importance towarts the demands
of a nefariously criminal band of terrorists and in deference to the insistence
of the High Buddhist Clergy who has displayed great hindsight in reminding
the Wickremasinghe Administrationof its Election Pledges "Never to
De- Ban The LTTE" and the personal assurances given by the Defence
and Foreign Ministers during subsequent visits to the High Clergy. By
prioritising the needs of the LTTE over that of the Nation's Security
and what is fast becoming the will of the people Dr. Kodituwakku could
very well be putting his head on the chopping block with his dangerous
talk and ironically although he appears to be armed verbally to stop the
President in her tracks he seems rather nonplussed about how exactly he
intends to accomplish his and manifesting its reality as he has neither
legal not Parliamentary recourse towards accomplishing what amounts to
foolish banter rather than acheivable ends.

Having said during an interview with the Sandeshaya, the BBCs Sinhala
Language program that the entire Nation's demand was peace and if the
President of the country threw a spanner in the works the people would
have to take a "definitive step about her" what ever that speculated
step would be not realising that it wasn't as simple as he has made out
the President's Opposition to the Peace process to be. The President's
concerns very visibly relate to the far reaching ramifications in the
area of National Security as well as Territorial Sovereign Integrity which
the rather puerile thinking capacity of Kodituwakku seems to be unable
to comprehend.

Repeatedly asked what practical step the UNF government was going to
take about her opposition to the lifting of the ban the UNF Minister said
legal solutions had to be considered separately but did not explain what
legal remedy the government had to tackle the Presidents refusal
to deal with the knotty problem as indeed the problem facing him and his
UNF comrades were rather complicated and tumultuous whose complexities
go beyond all norms of rationality if the threat to the Nation was to
be the prime consideration.

So the story continues as the tally of UNF Pundits towards de-banning
of the LTTE has been augmented by another self proclaimed champion of
the LTTE.
